Artist's Statement

I feel incredibly lucky to be a photographer tramping through the rainy landscape of the Pacific Northwest. I am passionate about our soft, watery light; light that makes colors tender, rich, and deep, light that falls in gorgeous tonalities creating metaphors for the mysterious nature of our existence.  

Taking pictures and working with them is a joy offering often unexpected results and pleasures. I love to see how hand-coloring and using old camera parts alter an image.  It’s almost as if the image itself knows what it wants to be and I am to follow its subtle hints. 

I feel very blessed that for over twenty years, I have been making pictures with my camera, and the process is always changing, growing from its own sources and the inspirations all around us.
